Just a simple project I’m currently working on to practice 4:3 Framing, Also going to attempt to frame scenes better than the official P&S versions

Sources:
2011 Blu Ray (unless someone can get me a copy of that HDTV Rip)

Other than that I’m using Sony Vegas for the editing.

See ya

Interesting …

A while back I did something similar for JAWS and JAWS 2. I zoomed in to remove the black bars, Reframed and cropped almost every shot to make fullscreen versions for my extended cuts. I had no choice, as the TV cuts for JAWS and JAWS 2 contain (still unreleased) deleted scenes only presented in 4:3. I used the early 2000s DVDs, at the time.

Might have to go back and do it all over again - but this time - use the BD releases. I’d got lucky with JAWS, the fullscreen 2000 JAWS DVD release saved me a lot of work.

It’s a b**tard of a job, going through each shot and reframing it (I used iMovie). Still, if you want a nice-looking fullscreen version of a film, it’s the only way to go. Old laserdisc and videotape releases just don’t cut it quality-wise.

Are you planning on doing the same for the other two prequels - or any of the other STAR WARS films?

maybe RotS but probably won’t do AotC because there’s an hd fullscreen version of that movie from HBO. I also thought about force awakens and using the Jakku Place IMAX sequence. But this project probably won’t go anywhere beyond shits and giggles
